Title: Ulimit open files

ElasticSearch can chew through a lot of file descriptors. As described here:

http://www.elasticsearch.org/tutorials/2011/04/06/too-many-open-files.html

Raise open files limit to a default of 32k and make it configurable with the `NFILES` sysconfig variable.

Also includes minor changes to null sysconfig variable handling and updates the changelog.
